Tell us a bit about yourself and your company.

Hi there! I am Emily Chappell, a Dallas wedding photographer, wife, and mommy to two little ones (a little girl named Austyn and a baby boy named Lincoln). I have been photographing weddings for four years across the United States and love what I do. I invest a lot of myself personally into my work because I operate my business from a place of love and vulnerability. Connecting with couples is essential; documenting their special day is an honor that I never take lightly!

Tell us a bit about yourself and your company.

Hello! I’m Kayleigh Adams, a professional full-time wedding and portrait photographer based in The Cotswolds, UK. I am 24-years-old, a lover of tea, Polaroids, fresh flowers and ‘pretty things’! I grow to love what I do more and more each day and I feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful job. I am a natural light photographer, and I really do appreciate the time, thought and effort that my couples put in to make their wedding day perfect. I work calmly, discreetly and professionally to ensure that the bride, groom, as well as all of their guests, are completely at ease throughout the day. I am there to capture each wedding day story as it unfolds; the emotions, the colors, the expressions and the memories. My wedding photography allows my couples to re-live their special day over and over again. For most of the day, I’m creatively documenting everything as it happens and my couples probably won’t even notice me much! When it comes to the couple portraits, I make sure that they are kept completely relaxed and there is no awkward posing involved, I’ll generally just go on a short walk with the bride and groom, and capture them interacting.

Tell us a bit about yourself and your company.

My name is Ben, I have always been fascinated and intrigued by photography and began my photographic journey as a music photographer back in 2011. After seeing a lot of success in music photography, photographing bands such as Drowning Pool, Chelsea Grin and Make Them Suffer, I was offered to shoot a wedding for a previous music client.

Since then I have photographed weddings in England, United States of America and around Australia! My doctrine when it comes to wedding photography is that it’s important to keep. Things easy going and fun, so that the couple can make the most of their wedding day. I feel that it is also super important to spend a bit of time with your clients before their wedding to get to know them so that they can enjoy a stress-free and comfortable day!

Tell us a bit about yourself and your company.

I am an English (non-tea drinking) wedding photographer residing in Mexico…a place I have grown to love and I now call home since I arrived here in January 2010. I juggle my free time between travel, my beautiful girlfriend and volunteering with NGOs in less fortunate areas around Mexico and abroad. Every couple I photograph is unique, and I take the utmost pride in capturing the emotion and feeling of every wedding without being invasive, so as to ensure every image is of high quality and conveys an authentic story that can be shared for years to come.

Tell us a bit about yourself and your company:

First, thank you WeddingLovely for this opportunity! I’ve had the honor of solo-photographing over 400 weddings, events and families since I started my business in 1998. I continually challenge myself to achieve authenticity and timelessness in my work, and strive for quality and craftsmanship. I love making people happy through photography and that is really my primary goal every day, whether I am out photographing my clients or in front of the computer working on their images (often with a smile from ear-to-ear).

This charming real wedding, brought to us by Laura Lee Photography, is the epitome of rustic chic! Here’s Laura to tell us more:

Katie and Zack met in high school (they we’re introduced though a mutual friend) during their freshman year. They both thought the other was totally out of their league, so they kept their secret crushes to themselves for YEARS. Fast forward to a couple years ago, when Katie (on a whim) wished Zack a happy birthday. It was the spark that had allowed them to reconnect and hit it off!

Today’s wedding photographer interview is with Ashley of Apaige Photography, based in Georgetown Township, Michigan! Enjoy:

Tell us a bit about yourself and your company.

My name is Ashley, although I go by Paige. I started photographing at the age of 16, and interned with multiple wedding / studio photographers in high school. After that introduction, I fell in love with the reactions received from imagery, and decided to go to get further educated on the discipline of photography. From 18-22 I went to college, first at a community college (Lake Michigan College in Benton Harbor, MI), and then transferred to Grand Valley State University to finish my Bachelors’ in Photography, and Advertising. Within those years I also got a minor in Business so I could have the ability to run my own efficiently. The roots of my work have been providing confidence in (mostly) women. I began this body
image project around the age of 20, and it has been the focus of my non-clientele work.

Tell us a bit about yourself and your company.

I create wedding photography for couples who don’t want the typical light and bright images, but instead something a little more raw, adventurous, and cinematic. I studied film, art and art history in college and my photography is very influenced by those things. My main goals are to capture my couples’ weddings in the most unobtrusive way possible, and to be there for them throughout the process to make things less stressful. I love educating people about photography, why lighting is important and how we can easily incorporate things into the day that will help me create the best images possible for them. In my free time I shoot a lot of portraits and landscapes.
